What is 7.05 percent of 47.99 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 47.99 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 47.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47.99=100%
2) x=7.05%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
47.99/x=100%/7.05%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 7.05% of 47.99

47.99/x=100/7.05
(47.99/x)*x=(100/7.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47.99=14.184397163121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.184397163121) to get x
47.99/14.184397163121=x
3.383295=x
x=3.383295

now we have:
7.05% of 47.99=3.383295
